A/N: La-di-da-di-da~ Well, to tell you the truth, the idea for this chapter came to me suddenly AGES ago so I wrote it down and finished the chapter, right then.
Editing and procrastination were the only things keeping me from publishing it. Oh, and the small details. Tiny things, but so bothersome.
Too Many Interruptions
Chapter 13: Hinata
The plan came to him suddenly in an almost-blinding flash of inspiration.
"Hey." Naruto quickly gathered Sasuke's attention when he invaded the house of the dark ninja by simply walking in. If Sasuke wanted to leave his doors unlocked, there would be no one else to blame when people entered without permission.
"Let's go see a movie!" he suggested, taking Sasuke's hands and smiling.
Sasuke's reaction was less than satisfactory. "…Why?"
Naruto pouted, sure he could get Sasuke to agree—that is, if he played his cards right.
"But Sasuke," he whined, reminiscent of arguments passed, "I heard that it's supposed to be really good! The one about the zombies! And it's really scary." He said all this in a way specially designed to convince his boyfriend to agree with a minimum of trouble.
Sasuke sighed and checked the oven for his dinner. Pulling it out, he served him and Naruto a plate each. Suspiciously enough, there was enough for the both of them. So, Sasuke had somehow known Naruto would come over? It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that Naruto came to visit every single night since Itachi left. Clearly, there's no connection.
"I don't really want to go see a movie. I'm tired, and we have a mission tomorrow. Or did you forget about that?"
Naruto smiled guiltily. He had forgotten about the mission, of course, but he was determined to see this through.
"Well, if we go now, we'll still have time for everything else before tomorrow."
"You didn't think this through, did you?"
"Yep!" Naruto said. "I mean, no!" he added, too late. Sasuke shook his head, amazed that this idiot managed to convince him. Again.
"Fine. A date it is, then."
After dinner, they headed out into the cool night air, walking to the theatre. Upon their arrival, they headed to the ticket booth to get tickets. Because that's what people do at ticket booths—usually, anyway; there was a possibly drunk man asking about a butterfly. He was soon chased away by security.
While they waited in line, Sasuke and Naruto discovered a problem. They had hardly enough money for tickets, let alone anything else, such as food. Naruto smiled sneakily when the conversation turned to the cost of the popcorn, causing Sasuke to be slightly worried. The idiot rarely had good ideas, so he figured that it would be no different.
He was right. In between exciting battles and secret adventures—arguing about the cost of the tickets and stealing popcorn—they managed to enter the movie theatre.
Sasuke was so determined to not let anything else happen that he was tempted to tie Naruto to the chair. Except that Naruto would enjoy that, perhaps a little too much. Sasuke could see it in his mind's eye: Naruto grinning evilly and moaning in the quiet theatre, forcing Sasuke to silence him, one way or another.
And suddenly, he realised that they would be sitting in a dark movie theatre, together, practically alone.
And suddenly, tying Naruto to the chair didn't seem like such a bad idea.
But Sasuke resisted the urge, knowing that he didn't have to go that far to get Naruto hot and hard.
"Hey, Naruto," Sasuke whispered once the lights had dimmed and the movie had begun.
"Hmm…?" Naruto answered, fixated on the dark screen, his eyes reflecting the image of the playground, creepy and empty. He slowly lifted his hand and put a piece of popcorn in his mouth.
"I think I spotted a… turnip. In that corner over there." Even in the almost-pitch-blackness, Sasuke saw Naruto's sceptical turnips-don't-grow-in-corners-of-movie-theatres look.
Sasuke was at a loss for words. He wasn't a very direct sort of person, and the turnip line was the best he could come up with. Shrugging internally, he decided to run with it.
"Yeah, a big turnip just waiting for us to go over there and get it," Sasuke muttered, trying to sound convincing.
Naruto decided that Sasuke had recently consumed crack. Naruto was wrong, of course, as usual, but in his defence, Sasuke wasn't acting like a sane man should.
"Right, well, you can go talk to that turnip and I'll go call the psychiatrists, shall I?" Naruto suggested with fake brightness, patting Sasuke on the head condescendingly.
Realising that words were useless, Sasuke took action, tackling Naruto to the ground and rolling them into the corner, pausing afterwards to check if anyone had seen or heard.
"Shh!" someone said, but Sasuke couldn't see any eyes following them in the darkness.
"What—!" Naruto began loudly and angrily, Sasuke lying on top of him in the supposed turnip-corner. Sasuke silenced him with a kiss, dragging him the rest of the way into the dark corner.
"Mm…" Naruto responded in kind, forgetting everything and everyone, except Sasuke. They kissed deeply, with hands scrambling frantically under their clothes, touching whatever caused a sound to be released from the other's mouth.
Sasuke allowed Naruto to clamber on top of him, and leaned against the wall, moaning as quietly as he could with his lover straddling him and pinching his nipples while throwing his tongue into his mouth. Naruto squeezed himself even closer to Sasuke when he felt the hands on his lower back dragging them together.
They could taste the salt from the popcorn in each other's mouths. Naruto began to grind his lower body into Sasuke's, his erection making contact through the clothes. They both knew better than to strip in a public place, but they still had a lot of trouble resisting the temptation.
"We should stop…" Naruto muttered breathlessly between kisses.
"But… I want you…" Sasuke answered lustfully, sending shivers down Naruto's spine.
"Let's go somewhere more private, then," Naruto suggested, feeling irresistibly drawn to Sasuke that night.
"Excuse me…" The almost-silence was broken by the small voice, moving quietly through the theatre towards them.
Naruto and Sasuke ignored this, totally and completely. They simply continued what they were doing, kissing each other hotly.
"Wo—ahhh!" A strange cry sounded from right beside them, interrupting them, as the light from the torch of the girl reached them. She then proceeded to drop it.
"Shh!" someone—quite possibly the same person as before—said quietly, or whispered loudly. It was difficult to tell, with the sound right on the border like that.
The girl, now with bright red cheeks, picked up her torch, pointing it at them. Sasuke and Naruto had stopped upon hearing her cry, as it had startled them, but they'd made no move to move out of their current predicament.
"Uh… um… I—I'm gonna have to tell you—you—…to leave the theatre," she said oddly, with much hesitation and stuttering.
"Oh, Hinata, hi," Naruto said, recognising the girl.
"This isn't what it looks like, you know," Sasuke said matter-of-factly, standing up and stretching.
"Oh—okay…" Hinata continued blushing and gestured towards the exit.
"Honestly," Naruto began with a straight face, "it was all because of this… turnip," he decided, borrowing Sasuke's imaginary vegetables.
Sasuke burst into laughter, albeit internally. A small smile showed itself on his face, however.
"Okay," Hinata said again, hustling them out the door.
Once they were free from the confinement of silence, they continued the discussion of what had happened.
"Well, you see, a turnip was in the corner and—"
"Oh, I know—we've had so much turnip trouble lately. I can see how it could've caused all that," she said calmly and seriously, slightly annoyed at the turnip population, too.
Sasuke exchanged a glance with Naruto, bewildered.
"Those pesky things… Anyway, you'd better be off. Bye, now!" Hinata pushed them out the door and shut it behind them.
They were silent for a moment.
"What… just happened?"
"I do not know," Sasuke admitted.
"She bought that story about the turnip?" Naruto's tone was of blunt disbelief.
"Seems so."
"I'll just pretend this never happened," Naruto said, walking home, feeling very confused.
Meanwhile, in the movie place, Hinata fainted.
She recovered eventually and remembered nothing of the odd encounter.
